It Might Get Weird: Journeys in Veterinary Medicine

Click here to text us your questions & comments. This is the last episode of season 2! Gary and Sara finally found time in their schedules to actually record another episode together. It should be no surprise to anyone that it leans heavy on the topic of Shelter Medicine and Access to Care. But don't worry, there are plenty of detours to interest those not focused as much on those topics....
